Tips for Logging In

Login Name and Password

Did you become a member before the new website went live on [date]? 

If so, your old login name should work but your old password will not. To create a new password, click “I forgot my password” and enter the email address associated with your account. An email will be sent to that address providing a link for you to set the password. Follow the instructions as provided in the email. Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter, and 1 number.

Did you join online on this website since [date]?  

Please use the login name and password you set at that time.

Did you become a member since [date] but did not join online on the MGS website? (This is the case with Introductory Members and Joint Members with the Maryland Center for History and Culture.)  

You should have received your login name in a welcome email from MGS. (After logging in, you may change your login name if you wish.) You create a password when you log in for the first time. To do so, click “I forgot my password” and enter the email address associated with your account. An email will be sent to that address providing a link for you to set the password. Follow the instructions as provided in the email. Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter, and 1 number.

VPN Users

If you use a VPN and experience problems logging in, try pausing or turning off your VPN when using the MGS website.

AOL Users

If you are having problems logging in, try using a browser other than your AOL browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
